During an episode of Justin Long’s Life Is Short podcast, Jamie-Lynn Sigler shared that James Gandolfini was the first person on 'The Sopranos' set to know about her MS diagnosis and supported her indirectly by donating to MS organizations constantly. After her diagnosis, Gandolfini even gave her his acting coach. Sigler highlighted Gandolfini's hard work ethic, as well as her struggles during Season 5 of The Sopranos due to personal issues and hiding her MS symptoms from the cast, except for Gandolfini. Sigler now hosts a podcast with Christina Applegate discussing MS to raise awareness.
